读图时代的视觉盲区

On Visual Blind Area of Picture-reading Age

在读图时代,现代图像媒介成为最重要的视觉对象之一,它促进了视觉新特性的形成,赋予自身以确认世界真实性的地位;同时,在现代成像技术与消费文化语境的双重影响下,图像与视觉之间由双向互动走向极端,新的单向度图像—视觉机制也因此形成,图像借此由真实走向制造"真实",并形成新的视觉盲区。这一盲区不仅反映出现代社会全新的社会心理关系,也在更微观的层面扩展成为隐性的文化权力关系网,因此,理解视觉盲区就成为解读读图时代的重要一维。

In the age of picture-reading,the media image has become one of the most important visual objects. It promotes the formation of new visual characteristics,and gives itself the status about confirming the authenticity of the world. At the same time,under the double influence of modern imaging technology and consumer culture context,the interactive mechanism between image and vision has gone to the extreme,and a new one-way mechanism has been established. Therefore the image that once was real starts to make real,and with it a new visual blind area is formed. This blind area not only reflects the new social psychological relationship in modern society,but also expands into a covert network of cultural power relations at a microscopic level. And it is also an important one-dimension to interpret the picture-reading age.
